Key votes

- Adopt agenda: Motion passed with recorded outcome \"6 yeses, 1 absent.\" (Motion recorded at 00:01:56.)

- Consent calendar: Council approved the consent calendar; the clerk recorded \"Motion passes. 6 yeses, 1 absent.\" (Motion recorded at 01:03:14.)

- Resolution recognizing Casey Dahl (Resolution No. 9405): The council adopted Resolution No. 9405 \"recognizing Casey Dahl for her heroic actions, saving an employee's life.\" The resolution passed with ayes from Council Members Reynolds, Johnstone, Goodson, Weber, Vice Mayor Smith and Mayor Pittman; there were no nays and one council member absent (Scott Thompson). (Presentation and vote recorded at 00:37:05–00:42:04.)

- Appointment to Arts Commission: The council appointed Erin Lackey to the Oroville Arts Commission. The motion passed on the record. (Appointment presented at 00:41:44; motion recorded at 00:44:25–00:44:28.)

- NeoGov recruiting and applicant-tracking system: Council voted to approve a two-year NeoGov contract for recruitment and applicant tracking, with staff reporting a negotiated discount. Motion passed \"6 yeses, 1 absent.\" (Discussion and vote recorded at 01:33:30–01:33:45.)

- Annual assessments and district actions (public-hearing items): The council opened and concluded multiple public hearings and approved annual assessments and Proposition 218 findings for consolidated benefit assessment and landscape/lighting districts across several zones. Recorded outcomes included votes with typical tallies of \"6 yeses, 1 absent,\" and where recusals were required (because of property ownership or proximity), votes recorded as \"4 yeses, 2 recusals, 1 absent\" for the affected zones. (Hearings and votes recorded across 00:40:00–01:12:00.)

- Annual special tax for Community Facilities Districts (CFD Nos. 2006-1 and 2006-2): Council adopted resolutions to levy the fiscal year special tax; the record shows a vote of \"5 yeses, 1 recusal, 1 absent\" on the related resolution(s). (Discussion and vote recorded at 01:34:00–01:36:00.)

Procedural notes: Several hearings involved recusals by council members when conflicts existed; when recusals would have left the council without a quorum, the council used a lot-drawing procedure (as noted on the record) to determine which council members would remain for the item so the city could carry forward the assessment vote.

Ending: The council concluded its regular meeting with no additional special items and adjourned to its next regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 19, 2025.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","08.05.2025 City Council Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its Aug. 5 meeting the Oroville City Council approved the consent calendar, several annual assessment resolutions and tax measures, appointed an arts-commission member and approved a NeoGov recruiting contract.","taxTitle","Oroville, Butte County, California","taxId",55587,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6496838,"PG&E says Oro Dam gas-line testing delayed; paving to begin around Sept. 7; Tesla chargers planned near Toyota dealership",101,288000,389000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5550261-3956cbcda813e091cdeec85af6a069c4&start=288&end=389","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5550261-3956cbcda813e091cdeec85af6a069c4/thumbnail_288000.jpg","/articles/6496838/Oroville/Butte-County/California/PGE-says-Oro-Dam-gas-line-testing-delayed-paving-to-begin-around-Sept-7-Tesla-chargers-planned-near-Toyota-dealership","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6496838-66e3af23b9278909331ceaaae590f80b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166600&Signature=GCpwcIlGzDdlVgtjFnTGjALtuzeroeWgyLks99TC9Nc3De2fqcZzMCaU-geDyxTDPKrWQjNJYx8M2hvniZF3l1AEHeCtrvyntv3f8HlwaaZr5j6HKiP~wAGI5FGCCKf3nZSGdUL~xzV2oU3b2EOh9PmqwqUTrcGHdf9Np65tE7o8wCAYkyurm~WjwGGyreBE1iAeyl3orvyDXLnPmbDueQ~B2umLYyJCfIo861bQI~ZagBXP2WTMX1Klq6EpT5gbFftOw2dUSrTRIvfutaxhizt~0o2FbRm0wEbdGwYAoS1LM7BqOLntpBBI66fc0cvftPReEPTjxEEXbM89RhZTfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brenda Narayan, PG&E's government affairs representative, briefed the Oroville City Council on Aug. 5 about multiple utility projects affecting city streets.

\"Paving is going to begin, around September 7 and and run for about 10 days,\" Narayan said, describing a hydrostatic pressure-testing project on gas lines along Oro Dam/Highway 162 that started in mid-May and was delayed due to weather and soil-testing issues.

Narayan described a second gas-related project starting in September that will affect a street between Myers and Fallbrook and said work there would last about two to three weeks and impact two corners on D Street. She also said PG&E is working with Tesla to install three chargers across from the Toyota dealership; PG&E will \"stub in\" using existing infrastructure to serve that installation.

Narayan said she has been communicating project details by email and offered to answer follow-up questions with staff outside the meeting.

Ending: City officials thanked PG&E for the repairs and updates; staff will continue to coordinate traffic and paving timelines as the projects approach.","A PG&E representative told the council that hydrostatic pressure testing on gas lines around Oro Dam/Highway 162 began in mid-May and that paving is now expected to begin about Sept. 7.

He also said a council member shared his complaint with community members, which he described as retaliatory.

\"This wasn't just a public comment. It was a formal complaint submitted in good faith, expecting accountability and transparency,\" McClure said, adding, \"I will not be intimidated or silenced.\" (Public comment by Jeff McClure.)

City leaders said the complaint would be handled through the city's operational code-enforcement process rather than treated as a legislative matter. The city attorney explained that complaints about potential noncompliance should be filed with the city's code enforcement department using the citizen-complaint intake so staff can investigate and, where appropriate, redact sensitive information in public records responses.

\"Whenever there is a complaint about noncompliance... it should be brought forward to the code enforcement department. We have a citizen complaint form to handle those kinds of intakes,\" the city attorney said. The city attorney added that the complainant normally receives confirmation from code enforcement that the issue was reviewed and, when possible, some form of closure.

Council members told McClure that the city is reviewing the structure and that staff are working with planning and building to ensure required permits and inspections are completed. Councilman Johnstone said the property is \"working with the city to get all the necessary permits and make sure that everything is above board.\" The mayor and other councilors said an operational response from code enforcement would be more appropriate than a council-level discussion and apologized that McClure had not received a direct referral earlier.

Natalie Deakins, who said she was speaking on behalf of local young professionals and small-business owners, told the council that peers perceive inconsistent application of permit and fee rules and said that perception harms trust in the city's processes. \"Why do the rules seem to shift for someone and not for others?\" she asked.

Council members and staff responded to that broader concern by urging business owners to use the city's predevelopment meetings and intake forms and by pointing to outreach efforts intended to make permitting clearer. The city administrator and planning staff said they are working to improve communications and encouraged affected residents and business owners to meet with staff directly.

Direction given at the meeting: council members and staff agreed the complainant should be directed to file or re-file the issue through the code enforcement intake so operational staff can document and investigate it. The mayor said the city would follow up with McClure and apologized that staff had not earlier walked the complainant through the intake process.

No formal policy or disciplinary action was taken by the council at the meeting; the matter was described as an operational complaint to be handled by departments.

Ending: Officials said they will respond to the complainant through the proper code-enforcement intake process and reiterated that the city has an online complaint form for code and building concerns. Council members said they welcome residents bringing concerns to staff or the front counter so they can be routed to the correct department.","A resident delivered a formal complaint alleging zoning, permitting and potential conflicts of interest around a shed on property linked to city-affiliated parties. Council members and the city attorney described the city's code-enforcement intake process and said staff would refer the matter to the code enforcement division for follow-up.","actionData","errors"]
